1 Bedroom Cottage in Ballard, Seattle

The Earl Carriage House is a charming, two-story cottage, tucked away behind our home, offering plenty of space for a couple. While technically it is considered a “backyard cottage,” it is accessed without ever entering our yard or shared spaces. You will have total privacy. You'll also have dedicated off-street parking in the driveway in front of the Carriage House.
The open layout downstairs features a comfortable living area with ample seating, a charming electric stove, cable TV with streaming options, and a dining area adjacent to a fully equipped kitchen, complete with full-size stainless steel appliances. All-Clad cookware and a selection of regional cookbooks will inspire your culinary adventures. On Sundays, don't miss the nearby Ballard Farmers Market for the freshest ingredients.
Upstairs, you'll find a cozy bedroom and spacious tiled bathroom with laundry facilities. Relax in the queen-sized bed while gazing up through the skylight overhead. The stunning quartersawn oak antique doors salvaged from Seattle's Palladian Hotel add to the ambiance.
We take your comfort seriously and have provided a Simmons Beautyrest mattress with luxurious cotton linens, embroidered robes, slippers and a curated collection of feather pillows encased in hypoallergenic covers.
For entertainment, we have assorted board games, a lending library, a TV with cable, Netflix, and streaming options, reliable Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth speaker. Complimentary coffee, tea, and assorted cereal bars are provided.
What really sets The Earl Carriage House apart is our commitment to hospitality. We take pride in providing exceptional service to our guests, and it shows in our glowing reviews.

Summary: Start with the basics - clean property (meticulous, in fact), quiet area, convenient to downtown Ballard (20-minute stroll), easy parking. But the real story is the attention to detail - the "delighters" that you encounter in various aspects of the property. Choice of pillow firmness - really! Well-stocked kitchen, including a range of spices for any cooking need. Comfortable "living" area with a great "sensory" audio welcome upon arrival. A "welcome" tray on the bed and plush robes await you upstairs - perfect after a long day of travel. This was our second visit to "The Earl" and we hope there are more in our future. Great place, fabulous hosts!
